2672 Grandin Pl Cincinnati OH 45208

This lovely house was built in 1958 as part of a newly developed Hyde Park neighborhood known as Grandin Place. The home was built in a French-inspired architectural style and replaced the original estate home for this Grandin Road area. The original carved wooden doors were saved from the original house, along with several sets of French doors and wooden pocket doors, and were re-used with the new home.

The property and the house have seen a number of significant changes over the years, but the original architectural style was unaltered, as more recent additions were made to compliment the endearing, original style.

The original owner was an avid gardner and the property was well-known for specimen plantings. The formal garden at the home's front door, the jardin a la francais, is based on symmetry and order, and incorporates a cooler color pallete emphasizing greens and whites, with a seasonal burst of lavender.

Additions to the house were done out of neccessity as the current owner's family grew in size, but each project was done with much consideration for maintaining the character of the original house. There needed to be a consistency and a sense of order that went beyond just the gardens. The brick used during two significant projects was carefully selected so that it was difficult to tell what was original and what was new. The consistency in both the building materials and the contractors and architects that completed the work insured that there would be no questions.

The octagonal foyer includes three-inch thick double doors that were salvaged from the original estate home and included in the 1958 construction of this house. Other doors and trim were saved, as well, and used throughout the house. The floors are parquet teak wood floors and the ceiling is ten feet high, creating a very welcoming and inviting space. Silver leaf treatment on the ceiling and in the two coves were labor intensive and have helped make the intimate space a more elegant introduction to the house.

The living room was the main attraction in 1958. Not only was it the largest room in the house, but it introduced guests to the incomparable upriver views straight out the back. The sight line was created with the original construction - there was an understanding that you could build any kind of house you wanted, but you could never re-create that view! The parquet flooring is a teak wood, the ceilings are ten feet high and include a lutron lighting system specifically for the artwork. French doors, from the original estate house, provide walkout access to the patio and to the solarium. This room remains a treasure!

The pastoral views from the living room are better than any framed painting that you could hang on the wall...

The large living room can easily handle any sized group of guests with various seating areas, but the focal point is the marble mantle and the wood-burning fireplace. Lots of wall space for any collector, and plenty of natural light.

In space that was added to the original house in 2003, the transition from the living room into the solarium and the primary bedroom suite begins here.

The octagonal solarium was an addition to the house in 2003 and was designed as a space to retreat and rejuvenate - a calming environment that offers views in every direction. The ceilings soar to a height of fourteen and a half feet, while French doors and windows allow for plenty of natural light.

Walkout to the patio from the solarium. Being in this room is like being in a treehouse, overlooking everything below and outside. It's a place where you can enjoy solitude while remaining close by.

The kitchen is the result of a 2018 renovation overhaul. The wall between the kitchen and the dining room was taken out and the two rooms were gutted. Even the adjoining family room was renovated to reflect the new kitchens decor. The result of this renovation is a brand new view out the back of the house from the kitchen. The French doors open wide to create wonderful indoor/outdoor space where the westerly breezes blow gently through the house. This is a room that's hard to leave...

The wooden beams are reclaimed barn beams and create a more informal yet elegant space in which to entertain company. It's true that everyone still wants to congregate in your kitchen, and this kitchen is at the center of it all, located between the living room and the family room.

The extra large island offers tons of prep space or serving space as guests circulate throughout the room. The brick backsplash at the oversized double oven pairs with the beamed ceiling to compliment the home's French architecture, while the stainless steel appliances provide a nod to a more modern environment.

Well designed space, open and easy to navigate - a real treat for the entertainer.

The dining room maintains a sese of formality but has become a very approachable and comfortable space. The French doors open wide to make outdoor dining an easy option.

All new wood floors in the kitchen and dining room. Reclaimed wood beams. Lutron lighting highlights artwork and the dining surface.

If ever there was a place where time stands still, this is it! The upriver views of the Ohio River stretch all the way to the I-275 bridge that crosses the river near Riverbend. On a summer night, you can hear the music float up the valley, and sometimes fireworks are visible in the distance as both Ohio and Kentucky neighborhoods celebrate holidays. The river traffic is always changing, from small pleasure boats to the Riverboats and Sterwheelers, to the large barges carrying their loads from Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley to the Mississippi River.

Dining outside is always an option when it's this easy!

Wet bar between the dining room and the family room.

Bar area between the dining room and the family room makes self-service and entertaining a snap.

The family room is a 2000 addition that changed the way the house functions. The architect was asked to come up with something unique and presented an elongated octagon that was a nod to the existing octagonal foyer. With high ceilings and lots of windows, the room was an immediate hit. This is the room that is enjoyed everyday in every way.

Always bright and welcoming, the family room is everyone's favorite spot. The massage chair is a story in itself, and while it may not be much to look at, it has become an integral part to the family room :)

Great circular flow through the kitchen and the dining room. At the left is the home's secondary, and more casual, entrance.

Powder room located off the informal foyer. Limestone flooring with ceramic accent tiles.

The hallway off the front foyer leads to the primary suite. A powder room at left is nearest the living room.

The primary bedroom get the morning sun and enjoys views over the rear yard.

The first-floor primary suite bathroom features double vanities, a six-foot tub, and a walk-in shower.

The primary suite has an adjoining walk-in closet.

This bedroom was once a two-car garage! In 2000, when the family room was created on the opposite side of the house, the garage was turned into bedroom space. The high, tray ceiling and moldings make this room a desirable second option for a first-floor bedroom. It could continue to be used as a bedroom or turned into a library, a study, or home office. It could also be used as an in-law suite for older parents if the need arises.

This is the bathroom for the second first-floor bedroom. Double vanities and a shower/tub served as a child's bedroom for many years. This bathroom abuts the primary bathroom,and both rooms could be combined intoone, large bathroom if so desired.

There are two second-floor bedroom suites. This one faces the front ot the house.

The second upstairs bedroom suite enjoys exceptional views out the rear windows.

One of two second-floor ensuite bathrooms.

The lower level adds another 2,000 square feet of living space! The main stair to the lower level feeds into the gallery, which connects the principal rooms on this floor.

The game room features plenty of room for recreation. This could also be used as a home theatre space.

The bar area in the lower level is part of the recreation room and offers lower level users a way to entertain.

This end of the lower level offers walk-out convenience to a small patio. The fireplace is wood burning. The final bedroom suite can be accessed from the recreration space, making this area a great visiting apartment suite, with the bar area, lounge, bedroom and bathroom, and seperate entrances.

The lower level bedroom suite can also be accessed from upstairs via the spiral staircase. This allows for better flow between floors, as well.

Bedroom Five is a lower level room, but still above grade, and has big windows and lots of light. This room could serve as a home gym, among other things, if five bedrooms are not neccessary.

The lower patio right outside the bedroom suite. French door access to the inside in multiple locations.

The upper terrace with lots of space to entertain, soak up the sun, or relax all by yourself.

The upper and lower patios connect via the brick steps and open up into the multiple yards.

The home is located on a 1.5 acre parcel, perfectly situated at the top of a hill. Be active, be still, but be happy - there is so much space to enjoy here on Grandin Place!
